Pinoy startup joins Anthropic’s partner network
A Philippine digital startup has been selected as a network partner of Anthropic, the developer of artificial intelligence assistant Claude, to become the first in the country to do so.
A Philippine digital startup, Apper Digital Inc., has been chosen as a partner of Anthropic, the creator of the AI assistant Claude, marking the first such distinction for a local company. This partnership grants Apper access to a program that could potentially provide up to $100 million in assistance. Apper CEO and founder Diwa del Mundo stated that this recognition ensures clients that the startup has been vetted by Anthropic, opening the door for Philippine enterprises to utilize Claude.
Anthropic launched the Claude Partner Network in March, offering up to $100 million for partner training and technical support. Del Mundo emphasized that Apper can assist local firms in implementing Claude while adhering to domestic laws, such as the Data Privacy Act. Anthropic's Claude, launched in 2023 by former OpenAI executives, competes with Google and OpenAI for the title of most efficient AI automator.
To be eligible for the select tier, partners must present at least 10 Claude-certified practitioners and two businesses utilizing the AI tool. Apper Digital has trained over 200 certified Claude professionals for major corporations like GCash and Globe Telecom Inc.
